Common questions

Is Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40 healthy?

Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40 scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in, plus lab results from its product family, Badger Mineral Sunscreen Cream SPF 40. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40?

Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40 lists 9 ingredients, starting with Zinc Oxide, Sunflower Oil, Beeswax, Orange Oil and Jojoba Oil. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Yes. Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40 lists Sunflower Oil in its ingredients.

How processed is Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40?

Badger Kids Clear Zinc Sunscreen SPF 40 has no NOVA group.

Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.
